Barbie Basics

We were toy shopping this weekend when we passed the doll aisle and something dressed in black caught my eye. I stopped and went back to have a look. I was surprised to find it was a Barbie doll. I don't spend much time looking at dolls, I have boys. And most Barbies remind me of surgically enhanced porn stars. But these dolls looked and were dressed like sophisticated women.

It's a black Barbie with a real black nose. What a shock!

Christmas Gift Idea

If you haven't been completely turned off of Louboutins by Jennifer Lopez, you may find the Barbie by Christian Louboutin to be the perfect collectible gift. Christian dressed Barbie up as a cat burglar in a black catsuit. I'm so so about the Barbie, but am gaga over the accessories. Barbie comes with four pairs of red soled Christian Louboutins complete with tiny shoe boxes and storage bags. $150
